[Verse 1: Kanye West]This is family businessAnd this is for the family that can't be with usAnd this is for my cousin locked down, know the answer's in usThat's why I spit it in my songs so sweetLike a photo of your granny's pictureNow that you're gone it hit usSuper hard on Thankgiving and Christmas, this can't be rightYeah you heard the track I did man, this can't be lightSomebody please say grace so I can save faceAnd have a reason to cover my faceI even made you a plate, soul food, know how Granny do itPumpkin bread on the side, know how the family do itWhen I brought it why did God have to look all to it?As kids we used to laughWho knew that life would move this fast?Who knew I'd have to look at you through a glass?And look, tell me you ain't did it, you ain't did itAnd if you did, then that's family business

[Hook: Choir]And I don't care 'bout (all the, all the diamond rings, diamond rings)They don't mean a thing (all, all, all the things)All these fancy thingsI tell you that all (all the glitter) I'm waiting forNow all I know I know all these things

[Verse 2: Kanye West]This is family businessAnd this is for everybody standin' with usCome on, let's take a family Grammy pictureHey B, remember when they ain't believe in me?Now she like "See, that's my cousin on TV"Now, we gettin' it and we gon' make itAnd y'all gon' hate it and I'm his favoriteI can't deny it, I'm a straight riderBut when we get together be electric slidin'Grandma, get 'em shook upAw naw, don't open the photo book upI got an Aunt Ruth that can't remember your nameBut I bet them Polaroids'll send her down memory laneYou know that one auntie, you don't wanna be rudeBut every holiday nobody eatin' her foodAnd you don't wanna stay there cuz them your worst cousinsGot roaches at their crib like them your first cousinsAct like you ain't took a bath with your cousinsFit three in the bed while six of y'allI'm talkin' 'bout three by the head and three by the legBut you ain't have to tell my girl I used to pee in the bed

[Interlude: Choir]Rain, rain, rain go awayLet the sun come out and all the children sayRain, rain, rain go awayLet the sun come out and all the children say

[Verse 3: Kanye West]I woke up early this mornin' with a new state of mindA creative way to rhyme without usin' knives and gunsKeep your nose out the sky, keep your heart to GodAnd keep your face to the risin' sunAll my niggas from the Chi, that's my family dogAnd my niggas ain't my guys, they my family dogI feel like one day you'll understand me dogYou can still love your man and be manly dogYou ain't got to get heated at every house warmin'Sittin' here, grillin' people like George ForemanWhy Uncle Ray and Aunt Shiela always performin'?The second he storm out then she storm inY'all gon' sit down, have a good time this reunionAnd drink some wine like CommunionAnd act like everything fine and if it isn'tWe ain't lettin' everybody in our family business

[Hook: Choir]And I don't care 'bout (all the, all the diamond rings, diamond rings)They don't mean a thing (all, all, all the things)All these fancy thingsI tell you that all (all the glitter) I'm waiting forNow all I know I know all these things
